Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period specified for compliance with the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The enforcement notice's requirements were not excessive to remedy the breach, but the compliance period was unreasonably short given the practical need to appoint a contractor.
